Just bought a pre-order of the 6 basic figures plus Jabba from eBay for $90 shipped. I think that's a fair price. I couldn't justify buying the entire box for a handful of extras that I can't even complete Jabba with.

Sounds like you got them from the same place I did. I agree that it's not worth paying double that price just for a few extras that you don't need and the chance of getting an underwhelming chase figure. That said, I'm pretty excited about finally getting this set!

Pretty weak Chases for this series. There was so much more they could have done.

In general I agree but I do love the red coat Bib as a chase and look forward to having that one in my collection.

I'd don't really mind the Red Bib. Its cool how Medicom pays attention to the old Vintage style figures. However, I just have a really hard time getting excited over two repaints as rare chases. The Red Bib would have been a perfect "common" chase. However, since he's "rare" that means his price is going to sky-rocket. I'm not going to out and pay $100+ for him. Not sure I'd even want to pay more than $35 for him. I've got more Boba Fetts than I'd ever want/need so its easy to pass on hunting that one down. I guess I should just be happy that this wave won't cost me too much money.

Regarding the chases, it seems like the cheap repaint syndrome has hit Medicom hard recently. They've been re-releasing Disney figures, including chases, out the wazoo recently (Toy Story, various 2-packs, etc.). And they even just re-released 2 of the Metal Gear RAH figures. Maybe this is affecting the Star Wars waves, as well.
